Japanese automation group OMRON has signed an agreement to acquire OnLogic, the US manufacturer of industrial computers, together with its parent company Interlogic. The deal is worth $675 million and was announced on 13 October 2026. Once it is complete, Interlogic will become a wholly owned subsidiary of OMRON. Closing is expected in January.
Who is OnLogic?
Roland and Lisa Groeneveld founded OnLogic in 2003 under the name Logic Supply. Today the company designs, builds and sells configurable, rugged industrial PCs for demanding environments. It is headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont. It employs around 300 people across seven locations, including two manufacturing sites. Interlogic reported sales of $154 million in 2025, and more than 90% of that business comes from the Americas and Europe. OnLogic’s customers range from NASA and Amazon to General Motors and General Dynamics. Most of them buy directly from OnLogic, often with build-to-order configurations.
Why OMRON is buying
OMRON wants to evolve from a supplier of factory automation hardware into a provider of physical AI and digital transformation solutions for manufacturing. The acquisition supports that shift in three main ways:
- Physical AI platforms: OnLogic’s industrial PCs will be combined with OMRON’s high-precision control technology.
- Cross-selling: OMRON gains access to OnLogic’s customer base, especially in North America, and both product portfolios can be sold to each other’s customers.
- Joint development: The two companies plan to pair OMRON’s sensing and robotics products with OnLogic’s computing hardware.
OMRON CEO Junta Tsujinaga described North America as a key growth market. He noted that OnLogic’s expertise in industrial computing complements OMRON’s strengths in automation and control. Managing Executive Officer Motohiro Yamanishi added that the deal opens doors to customers that OMRON would otherwise have struggled to reach for years.
OnLogic stays independent
OnLogic will continue to operate as an independent business within the OMRON group. It keeps its brand, culture and direct-to-customer sales model. CEO Sean Larkin and the current leadership team will stay in place, and engineering and manufacturing will remain in Vermont. Larkin said that being part of OMRON gives OnLogic access to a global supply chain and greater resources to accelerate growth.
The acquisition follows OMRON Robotics’ collaboration agreement with Comau earlier this year. It is another step in OMRON’s push to bring AI from the cloud directly onto the factory floor.
